Chapter 388 "Savage" Tribe
"Dragon Palace Water Mansion?"
After hearing this, Li Yan suddenly felt a headache and handed Long Yugui directly, "Just in time, since you Qingyang Palace are here to supervise, I will no longer interfere and leave it to you to handle."
This sounds like a big trouble.
Ancient Dragon God, Erlang God Suppression, Dragon Palace Water Mansion Treasure... Just hearing these words makes Li Yan feel big.
He knew how hard the people in Shuzhong were being beaten.
Near Guanjiang Estuary, there is a battle between good and evil.
Many God Ascender have appeared, and even Wudang's strongest Demon Hunter Yu Longzi has to use the country's magic weapon as a bargaining chip and invite masters to help him.
I heard that there are those who are on the fourth or fifth level of Daoism and practice, and there are also those whose bodies are destroyed by Daoism.
With his small stature, it's best to stay away from him.
"Fellow Daoist was joking..."
Yun Lingzi waved his hand quickly, not picking up the dragon-shaped jade gui at all, as if this thing was hot coals.
He said sternly, "My fellow Daoist, you don't know something. The covenant between the gods cannot be fooled. There must be a reason why Dragon Girl is looking for you."
"Pindao has been guarding Longtan Lake for many years, and the other party has never shown up. He is obviously dissatisfied with me, Qingyang Palace. If I accept this matter, it will become a deadlock."
"Dragon is a spirit of heaven and earth and can only suppress it. If resentment breaks out, it will cause disaster sooner or later..."
This man's righteous words made Li Yan feel that this matter must be a big trouble.
But the other party didn't answer, and he couldn't force it, so he had to put the dragon-shaped jade away again, frowning and said, "Then how should we deal with this matter?"
"Easy."
Yun Lingzi said, "Since Dragon Girl is entrusted with the dream, it means that there is room for change in this matter. After Pindao returns, he only needs to perform rituals to appease him, and Dragon Pool Village's problem can be solved."
When Village Chief Zhou and the hunters nearby heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good..."
The chats between Li Yan and others, what kind of dragon god, Erlang God, are like myths in their eyes, and they are frightened when they hear them.
But as long as things can be resolved, everything will be fine.
Sha LiFei, who was next to him, felt the smell and said with suspicion, "Dragon Pool Village's matter has been solved, but will this trouble be passed on to us?"
Yun Lingzi did not hide anything, "Fellow Daoist guessed it right."
"But this is not Pindao's refusal, but there is another mystery. Since ancient times, those who only fancy the land often have their own opportunities. Pindao dare not take it, and even if he takes it, he can't hold it."
"Like that Dongting Liu Yi, for another person, I am afraid that the body will be destroyed and the Tao will disappear. Fellow Daoists have this opportunity, and they must not do it randomly..."
"Liu Yi?"
Li Yan was a little surprised, "Isn't that a legend?"
Yun Lingzi shook his head when he heard this and said, "Although the story of Liu Yi was fabricated by later generations, it also has its prototype. He was originally a scholar Tang Era. He became a great monk from a mortal in a short period of time. He got a great opportunity in Dongting, and it is related to Dragon Girl."
"But this person is very mysterious. After he became famous, he seceded from the world and practiced spiritual practice. Some people rumored that he had become an immortal, but there was no definite news..."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Dragon Girl just gave this thing as a gift. I don't know what it is going to do. What's the use of it?"
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry."
Yun Lingzi explained for a long time. He was already a little tired and said with a pale face, "After I go back, I will hold a ritual and pull out Dragon Suppression Stake. I will know by then."
"That's all."
Seeing that further questioning yielded no results, Li Yan also changed the subject, "To be honest, I'm going to Shennongjia this time to find a trapped dragon..."
He recounted the story and asked, "Daoist Master has been here for many years. Does he know where the dragon is near Baokang County?"
Yun Lingzi thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Shennongjia has many secrets and dangerous areas. Although I have been here for many years, I can only go a little further than the hunters in the village."
"But there is nothing we can do about this matter."
"Oh, Daoist Master, please speak frankly." Li Yan asked quickly.
When they entered the mountain this time, their mission was not to kill the dragon, but to find the exact location. Then True Martial Palace sent experts to carry out legal suppression.
Among the Xuanmen formations, there is a secret method specifically designed to deal with dragons.
He doesn't want to stay in this Shennongjia for too long.
Yun Lingzi said in a deep voice, "The land of Bashu in Jingxiang has many mountains, rivers and lakes. Since ancient times, there have been dangers caused by dragons, so I, Qingyang Palace, have also done some research on this thing."
"As the saying goes, when the earth sinks into the abyss, dragons will emerge. As long as the energy of the earth's veins flows in the deep pools of the ponds and there are many fish and shrimps, they can breed."
"Similarly, there are many sources of dragons."
"Some are transformed from turtles, turtles, fish, and snakes, and some are natural heterogeneous species that have received a trace of earth-vein dragon energy. Their Daoism practices also have high and low levels. The more difficult the practice, the more powerful they are."
"Like that Jiang God Great Lord, it took five hundred years for a dragon to turn into a dragon, and a thousand years for a dragon to turn into a dragon. It took countless hardships to become the leader."
"Some egg fetuses can turn into dragons themselves, but their strength is low, and they may even be preyed upon by wild beasts, robbing their luck."
"When this kind of dragon encounters people and animals by the river, it will surround them with the fishy saliva in their mouths, make them fall into the water, and suck blood under their armpits until the blood is gone..."
Yun Lingzi described some characteristics of Jiao, and then said, "Those Heavenly Saint Sect demons want to use Dragon Walking's power to penetrate the Jushui. Ordinary Trapped Flood Dragon cannot do that. They must have profound Daoism to intimidate one party in Shennongjia."
"Trapped Flood Dragon Over time, resentment will grow, and it will even change the earth's veins, and the surrounding animals and plants will also change. And if they want to Dragon Walking, they must dig out a water diversion ditch, and there will definitely be a lot of movement."
"You can come here to find it."
"Thank you, Daoist Master, for your advice."
Li Yan After listening, he slightly cupped his hands in thanks.
Knowing these characteristics, it will be relatively easy to find. After all, there are Lu San and Wu Ba, and traveling through Shennongjia is not a problem...
Early the next morning, everyone climbed up the cliff and immediately parted ways.
Village Chief Zhou and the hunters carried Yun Lingzi back to Dragon Pool Village.
This place is not far from their hunting trail. The dangerous Donkey-Headed Wolf was also killed by Li Yan, and they can rush back before dark.
As for Li Yan, we will continue to search in depth.
After sending Village Chief Zhou and the others back to the hunting trail, watching their figures gradually disappear into the thick fog, Sha LiFei then said, "Yan XiaoGe, where should we go in this barren mountain?"
Li Yan looked to the south and said thoughtfully, "Centurion Gong, we can know where the source of Jushui is."
Hearing this, Gong Qun quickly took out the map, pointed to a place and said, "The source of Jushui where I came is right here. The terrain is high and the woods are dense. The wind blows in the forest all year round and the sound is quite loud, so it is called Echoing Forest Gully."
"Originally I was going to take you guys to look for it from there, but that area has been occupied by the Heavenly Saint Sect rebels, so I had to take a detour."
"Also, we are in this place now."
Seeing the map, Li Yan nodded and said, "My guess is correct, Donkey-Headed Wolf is also migrating towards us from this direction. They must be afraid of Trapped Flood Dragon leaving."
"Just go this way!"
With the goal in mind, everyone set off immediately.
However, before going very far, the problem appeared again.
The surrounding area is surrounded by dense mountain forests, with towering leaves and dense vegetation. Coupled with the mist and clouds, it is even difficult to find the way back.
When I took out the compass, it was even more chaotic. Sometimes it was rotating, sometimes it was still, and it was impossible to point at all.
"Brother Lu San, let the eagle fly!"
Li Yan gave the order directly without any panic.
When Lu San heard this, he immediately raised his hand and waved. The falcon standing on Wu Ba's salute immediately fluttered its wings into the sky and disappeared into the thick fog.
The Falcon Li Dong on his chest immediately started chirping loudly, and the little fox Chu Qi beside him also chirped and circled around.
Lu San quickly comforted him, making Li Yan and others laugh.
These little guys usually like to compete for favor, but once there is an outsider, they immediately act in unison. For example, Commandery Commandant Office Falcon, who was temporarily seconded, was forced to accompany Wu Ba.
Now, they can also see animal emotions.
Falcon Li Dong clearly saw that his job was being taken away and expressed his dissatisfaction, but the injury was not healed and he could not fly.
And the little fox Chu Qi was laughing at him.
Animal emotions are so simple and straightforward.
After a while, the falcon fell from the sky, Gong Qun took out the map, and Lu San pointed on it, until the falcon screamed, and then the direction was determined.
Although this method of determining the direction based on the terrain is a bit troublesome, it at least keeps them from getting lost.
In this way, everyone walked along the outside of Shennongjia.
It didn't take long for them to find some beast carcasses, which were chewed up in a mess and covered with maggots.
Lu San weighed the bite marks and nodded. "It was those Donkey-Headed Wolf who did it. We are going in the right direction!"
If you find the right path, everyone will move faster.
After all, this is the outskirts of Shennongjia, so it is relatively safe. Even if there are some bears and wild boars along the way, they will leave quickly if they realize that they are not easy to deal with.
Unknowingly, I walked for a few more hours.
The scenery inside Shennongjia is excellent, magnificent and quiet. As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of plants, and the fresh air makes your back sweat.
However, after watching it for a long time, it becomes boring.
Sha LiFei couldn't help but take out his pocket watch and look at it, "It's already past noon, let's find a place to rest for a while before talking."
"That's fine."
Li Yan nodded in agreement.
Shennongjia is inherently dangerous, and there are demons lurking, so they must maintain their fighting strength at all times and not be too exhausted.
But at this moment, Wu Ba looked around, suddenly became excited, pointed to the west and shouted, "Home! Home!"
"Don't get excited, speak slowly."
Lu San quickly reassured, Wu Ba then calmed down and pointed to the north, "Home, over there, here... hunting!"
Although he stuttered, everyone understood the meaning.
Li Yan looked to the west thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "The Wu Ba tribe has been destroyed by the Heavenly Saint Sect. Everyone, please be careful. Maybe the demon is lurking in that area."
"Brother Lu San, let Falcon check it out."
At the command, the falcon flapped its wings and flew high into the sky again.
Shennongjia There were clouds and fog inside. Although it was past noon, they were in a dense forest and the light was only slightly brighter, so they couldn't see the sky at all.
Chirp-!
Suddenly, the shrill cry of an eagle sounded in the distance.
After just calling once, there was absolutely no movement.
Lu San heard a sudden change in expression from behind, "No! There is something in the sky that attacked the falcon."
"Quick, hide!"
Li Yan frowned and hurriedly ordered.
There is no doubt that the opponent also has birds of prey in the air.
At this time, I can no longer take care of my sadness. Maybe I have entered Heavenly Saint Sect's territory. Once discovered, I will be besieged.
Everyone moved very quickly and immediately hid in the bushes.
Wow!
Not long after, the sound of flapping wings and whistling could be heard above the thick fog. The movement was so loud that the leaves even rolled and swayed.
"Good guy, what is this?"
Sha LiFei looked at the sky in surprise.
"I don't know, but it must be big!"
Li Yan was also hiding in the grass, watching intently, and slowly took out Flintlock Firearm with his right hand.
For long-distance attacks, this thing is better.
The other party was making quite a lot of noise, but it was flying quite high, far beyond his Divine Ability detection range, so he didn't know what it was.
Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San, and Mystical Gestures are also pinched. One person looks up and waits, and the other listens.
Unfortunately, after the sound of flapping wings, it didn't appear again.
Li Yan frowned and was about to get up, but Wu Ba next to him grabbed him, looked at the sky, and said warily, "People, birds, come back, three times..."
What I said this time was a bit confusing.
Lu San quickly asked with Superior Language, and then said in a deep voice, "Wu Ba said that this is Shennongjia a kind of demon bird, Human-Faced Owl itself, very cunning. Every time it appears, it will patrol back and forth three times."
"That thing is a savage spy!"
"Savage?"
Li Yan was about to ask, but his heart trembled and he motioned for everyone to hide.
Sure enough, the sound of flapping wings in the air reappeared, and after coming three times in a row, it disappeared completely, and it was unknown where it flew.
Li Yan looked at the sky and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Isn't Wu Ba a savage?"
Lu San was also a little strange and quickly asked Wu Ba.
I saw Wu Ba gritting his teeth and mumbling something.
Lu San suddenly understood and explained, "There are many savages in Shennongjia, and they are of different types and tribes."
"Wu Ba They belong to the mandrills, and they are the descendants of the victims of the mandrills when they went out to cause trouble. The savages who control the mandrills are another group. They are larger in size, with one arm and one leg. They often harass them..."
"One arm and one leg?"
Li Yan was thoughtful and quickly looked at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Master, is the book <Record of Mysterious Creatures> given by Zen Master Cheng Jue still there?"
"Here."
Wang Dao Xuan walked towards Wu Ba, took out an ancient book from the bookcase behind him, and handed it to Li Yan.
This is <Record of Mysterious Creatures> which is the secret book of Demon Hunter. When Wu Ba was interrogated, Baotong Chan Temple gave this book to them.
Turning over one of the pages, Li Yan pointed at the pattern and said, "Wu Ba Look, is it this."
Wu Ba took a look and nodded quickly.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "This is the 'Shenkui', who lives in the mountains around the Wei River. He has a human face and an animal body, one arm and one leg. He is not a savage, but a mountain spirit. He is good at controlling evil spirits..."
Sha LiFei asked strangely, "How could the spirits in the Weishui area come to this Shennongjia?"
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "Perhaps like Wu Ba and others, they were put into the mountain specially..."
"You guys wait here first, I'll go investigate!"
After saying that, he pinched Mystical Gestures and his whole body was wrapped in water mist.
Although Shennongjia is dangerous, it also has advantages, that is, the power of North Emperor Black Water Escape is also enhanced at the same time.
Shuttled through the thick fog, Li Yan was almost invisible and moving very fast, moving quietly towards the west.
Soon, he arrived seven or eight miles away, squatting on the trunk of a big tree and looking into the distance.
I saw a cliff in front of me. The cliff was densely covered with ancient caves of ancestors, and there were even ruins of a bunker.
In the open space below, a mountain of messy beast bones was piled up, including many human skulls, deliberately piled in the shape of Jing Guan...
